JAMB Results For 2018 UTME Won’t Be Released Immediately – JAMB Boss

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has revealed that it will not release the results of the 2018 UTME examination immediately like it did in 2017.

According to the JAMB boss, this is to ensure that the activities of candidates during the exam are adequately reviewed before their results are released.

The JAMB Boss stated that he had already proved last year that there is no big deal in releasing the results immediately. However, to ensure that results are not cancelled after releasing them like it happened in 2017, the board will have to take two to three days to review what happened in all the CBT centres through the CCTV cameras before releasing the results for 2018 as this will help reduce the cancellation of results.

Mr. Oloyede advised candidates not to pay any money to CBT centre for the main exam as no CBT centre is allowed to collect any cash from the candidates. He said that JAMB will be the one to pay CBT centre 600 naira for each candidate that will take the exam in their centres as earlier agreed.

The registrar equally urged candidates to adhere strictly to the date and time allocated to them for examination. He said any candidate who fails to turn up on schedule for his or her examination automatically misses the examination.

The examination is scheduled to begin on Friday, March 9, to March 17.

We can’t really say for sure. JAMB stated last week that the results should be expected within 2 to 3 days after the exams. However, we cannot tell if what JAMB means is that the results for each day of the exam will be released 2 to 3 days afterwards or that all the results for 2018 UTME will be released 2 to 3 days after the whole exams must have been concluded.

Though we are monitoring that and will post an update here once it is released.
